it’s so nice out lately. i feel healed

first day above 70 degrees outside…. yessss… YESSS…

i am normal and can be trusted to drive my dads JZA80

IPS screen + reshell for ol’ reliable. really excited to enjoy this thing more in my travels ^^

One of my favorite MiniDisc designs ever… gah I love this format

chicago is cool!

Well after a ton of hours polishing, screen turned out about 70% improved! and i got a remote for the set to access the composite inputs. i’m quite pleased with it! even more pleased to share that it has been given a new lease on life at a local screenplay theaters’ prop department!

Panasonic AG-500R

The Wind Waker is just so funny The slapstick comedy pleases my brain so much combined with his wonderful facial expressions

haiie

retro gaming on my retro tv in my retro room. i’m also retro because i was born the day guilty gear was released. retro

every week an RF only set pops up. gotta scoop one soon, absolutely perfect for retro gaming

you know, i think wind waker is probably the best game out there for showing off the picture on a CRT. I don’t think any other game is quite as vibrant with color and contrast, it lends itself so well to the rich color depth of a tube

overcast with a chance of rain, no work today, bonus just hit, coffee in hand, wind waker on a CRT.. this is the good life

Travel TV!

pov romantic dinner

so i really like these

Good morning! Happy friday!

okay, I must admit.. i sorta kinda get the appeal of VHS. this feels neat.

i could be doing anything else with my day but i’m spending hours buffing and polishing the glass screen on a 29 year old television. feliz jueves

if my late teens-early 20’s were defined by having an insatiable sweet tooth, my late 20’s have been defined by a salt-tooth. I am gang sodium. give me pringles give me pickles give me ramen.. i <3 salt

now i must draw it obviously #art #drawing #sketching #digitalart #rkgk #aircraft #plane

Well, Ye Olde Panoso here had such a thoroughly scratched and destroyed front glass that he is now going to be my personal science experiment to test all manner of theories i have on abrasive CRT glass polishing/scratch removal techniques

Today’s find, a lovely 27” Toshiba PV-M2767! Found in the back of a box truck- which was parked at the back of the junkyard.. 350 yards from the entrance. nearly 3 football fields! Anyways, it works great, but the screen is very deeply scratched. Might be fixable? my back hurts…

wind waker is the best zelda i think

i always get such a kick out of “guess it was worth a shot” marketplace listings like this

the fact that there are so many CRT’s people actively don’t want/care about that they willingly have given to a local disposal facility… just sitting there.. right now. and i’m not allowed to go and take even one……… just another example of the unfair world we live in TT__TT

Alright, well. the never ending saga of the Side-of-the-road Samsung continues. after some further use it began to noticeably have a “flagging” effect (horizontal distortion when lots of colors were being displayed) as well as having some front IO bugginess. it is now 100% FULLY re-capped & fixed…

I do this when I'm bored

i used to post selfies a lot but i got weirded out one day and wiped them after my youtube channel got big enough to intimidate me. kind of a weird position i never expected myself to be in

Mother 3 is really really good btw

Always been obsessed with Boeings official promotional stickers from the early 90’s featuring their commercial aircraft depicted as Silly Little Guys ™ Truly the artist responsible for these was decades ahead of their time

I gotta hand it to this eMachine 400i3’s crystal CS4281 integrated sound chip, i believe it officially has the worst DOS emulation i’ve ever heard. Impressive! I don’t even think the IBM Mwave sounds this horrendous!

anyone else have dreams where they stumble across a bunch of rare things that they really want for free/super cheap?

it’s crazy how much conscious effort it takes to not allow myself to turn nocturnal. you’d think the human brain would much more easily adjust itself to the sun being up/down, but when given more than 5 days off work it becomes a real struggle to keep my sleep schedule intact

i really don’t know why i bother with goodwill anymore. I have NEVER gotten a single console, PC, or CRT from a plain old goodwill. I’ve been going for 10 years. I think I bought a lamp once, that’s about it. This is *always* the state of my local goodwills “electronic section”. always.

he watches me play mother 3

so nice that it’s been warming up a bit, i missed driving this thing

New vid! youtu.be/V2QDAVdgj5Y?...

helping @dustyumbreon236.bsky.social build a sweet blazing fast gaming pc

it’s saturday! party time!

every day i thank god for not giving me the type of brain that enjoys league of legends

new way to play HL2, you must locate a CRT and pick it up, you must not put it down. if you lose the CRT due to the game not allowing you to continue with it you must immediately locate a replacement CRT and continue accordingly.

sharing music and having people actually listen to it and tell you they like it is a uniquely wonderful feeling. it happens so seldom i still remember/associate specific songs with my friends positive reactions to it years and years on.

how many times do we gotta go through this man #lawoftalos

sometimes if i’m sitting in dead silence long enough i begin to imagine harddrive sounds

It's you! #deltarune

beholding the complete dissonance between sellers like this and their intended market as to why these things are sought after + what makes one valuable will never not be entertaining

Big upgrades for The Boy today, 256mb ATI X1600 IceQ GPU -> 512mb ATI HD3850 IceQ3 2gb of DDR-400 -> 4gb of DDR-400 (now with shiny heat-shielding!) 300w IBM E-server PSU -> 650w Ultra PSU Do i dare say he is the most powerful IBM M50 in the world? I am legit at the limits with this motherboard!
